2010 is shaping up to be great value time for a safari! Hotels, lodges and camps are offering an unprecedented number of specials to entice visitors! Unlike the specials being offered earlier in 2009 the latest specials are much more focussed on underperforming properties (we have not included these specials on this page as we do not feel they offer a great experience) and / or non-peak times of year...it is a quite a change - an indication that the world economy is strengthening and the most sought after properties and trips are quite full during peak periods in 2010.

We have compiled a country by country list of the offers that we consider worthy of attention!

If you would like to learn more about a particular special or have us check availability please email or phone our Seattle office toll free 1 800 4621 0682 between 10AM and 6PM weekdays. If phoning from outside the USA please dial 425 793 8877. 

Specials apply to new bookings only.
